“We understand a statement as being true in a given situation if our understanding of the statement fits our understanding of the situation closely enough for our purpose,”
This statement of the meaning of truth comes from Women. Fire, and Dangerous Things: What Categories Reveal about the Mind by George Lakoff. It is one that makes most sense to me.
We?
Understanding exists within a greater Truth that is beyond the relative. What makes the most sense to me and those who have gained the experience of a constant within the relative, is that regardless of any state of mind, there are things that exist whether we know of them or not, and whether one wants to believe in them or not. Letting go of the limitations of relative truths so that the mind is not bound to the relative reveals the greater.
